Video Games

When trying to engage a struggling or reluctant reader, computer games can often be a less intimidating approach than a hefty tome or badly photo-copied activity sheet. I've spotted a few interactive online resources that might be of interest:
  • Root, an interactive spy story - This project started this week, new chapters of Root will be published every day for six weeks. Any one can get involved and influence the story by solving mysteries, foiling plans and eavesdropping into conversations!
  • The Binary - A brilliantly presented online adventure, like an interactive book.
  • Book Worm Adventures - A role-playing word game involving building words and battling monsters.
  • Build your own Book Mobile - This one is a bit more 'old school', download, cut out and stick together your own beautiful mobile library.
  • Word Fighter - This isn't out yet, but looks too cool for words (bad pun). 
I guess the inspiration for this post was the song I am kind of in love with at the moment, Video Games by Lana Del Rey. Song lyrics are another great idea to read with a partner, try googling their favourite song.

Have fun.

I'm really loving the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog visitors have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?
